Jeremiah 5
1 Mwet Jerusalem, yuwot yume ke inkanek nukewa! Liye akwoya yen nukewa! Suk pac ke acn in kuka! Suk lah kom ac ku in konauk sie mwet Su oru ma suwohs ac inse pwaye nu sin God. Kowos fin ku in konauk sie, na LEUM GOD El fah nunak munas nu sin mwet Jerusalem nukewa.
"Run back and forth through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places of it, if you can find a man, if there are any who does justly, who seeks truth; and I will pardon her.
2 Kowos finne orala fulahk lowos ke Inen LEUM GOD moul, A ma kowos fahk uh kikiap.
Though they say, 'As the LORD lives;' surely they swear falsely."
3 Pwayena lah LEUM GOD El suk mwet inse pwaye. El sringil kowos, a kowos tia mayak kac. El itungkowosi, a kowos tia lungse in aksuwosyeyuk kowos. Kowos likkeke ac tiana forla liki ma koluk lowos.
O LORD, do your eyes not look on truth? You have stricken them, but they were not grieved. You have consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction. They have made their faces harder than a rock. They have refused to return.
4 Na nga nunku, “Mwet inge mwet sukasrup ac mwet nikin. Ma elos oru uh lalfon; Elos tia etu lah mea God El enenu selos, Ac mea LEUM GOD El lungse elos in oru.
Then I said, "Surely these are poor. They are foolish; for they do not know the way of the LORD, nor the law of their God.
5 Nga ac som nu yurin mwet kol Ac kaskas nu selos. Sahp elos pa etu lah mea God lalos enenu selos, Ac mea LEUM GOD El lungse elos in oru.” Tusruktu mwet kol nukewa tia lungse muta ye ku lun LEUM GOD, Ac srunga pac aksol.
I will go to the great men, and will speak to them; for they know the way of the LORD, and the law of their God." But these with one accord have broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.
6 Pa sis lion insak uh fah onelosi; Wolf yen mwesis me fah seseya manolos, Ac leopard uh ac forfor in siti selos ac suk ma nac. Mwet ingo fin tufoki liki lohm selos, ac fah seyuki manolos Mweyen ma koluk lalos uh arulana pus, Ac pusla pacl elos forla liki God.
Therefore a lion out of the forest shall kill them, a wolf of the evenings shall destroy them, a leopard shall watch against their cities; everyone who goes out there shall be torn in pieces; because their transgressions are many, and their backsliding is increased.
7 LEUM GOD El siyuk, “Efu ku nga in nunak munas nu sin mwet luk ke ma koluk lalos? Elos ngetla likiyu Ac alu nu ke god sutuu lun facl saya. Nga kite mwet luk nwe ke elos kihpi, A elos orek kosro Ac sisla pacl lalos yurin mutan su kukakin manolos.
"How can I pardon you? Your children have forsaken me, and sworn by what are no gods. When I had fed them to the full, they committed adultery, and assembled themselves in troops at the prostitutes' houses.
8 Kowos wella in suk in oru lungse koluk lowos nu sin mutan kien mwet tulan lowos, Oana horse mukul ma kitakat wo ke elos sukna horse mutan uh.
They were as fed horses roaming at large: everyone neighed after his neighbor's wife.
9 Ya tia fal nga in kalyaelos ke ma elos oru inge, Ac oru foloksak luk nu sin mutunfacl se su ouinge?
Shouldn't I punish them for these things?" says the LORD; "and shouldn't my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
10 Nga fah supwala mwet lokoalok in fahsr inmasrlon takin grape sunun mwet luk Ac pakpakiya, tusruktu in tia kunausla nufon. Nga fah fahk elos in kotala lah ke grape uh, Mweyen lah ingan tia ma luk.
"Go up on her walls, and destroy; but do not make a full end. Take away her branches; for they are not the LORD's.
11 Mwet Israel ac mwet Judah Arulana pilesreyu. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.”
For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me," says the LORD.
12 Mwet lun LEUM GOD elos lafwekunul ac elos fahk, “Wangin ma El ac oru. Wangin ma upa ac sikyak nu sesr. Ac fah wangin mweun, ku pacl in sracl.
They have denied the LORD, and said, "It is not he; neither shall evil come on us; neither shall we see sword nor famine.
13 Kas lun mwet palu inge wangin kalmac, oana eng tuhtuh. Tia God pa kaskas nu selos. Ongoiya ma elos palye ingan ac ma na nu selos sifacna!”
The prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them. Thus shall it be done to them."
14 LEUM GOD Kulana El fahk nu sik, “Jeremiah, mweyen mwet inge fahk kain kas inge, nga fah oru kas luk in oana sie e in oalum. Mwet uh ac fah oana etong, ac e uh ac fah esukulosyak.”
Therefore thus says the LORD, the God of hosts, "Because you speak this word, look, I will make my words in your mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.
15 Mwet Israel, LEUM GOD El ac use sie mutunfacl yen loesla me in lain kowos. Sie mutunfacl oemeet me su arulana ku, sie mutunfacl su kowos tia etu kas la.
Look, I will bring a nation on you from far, house of Israel," says the LORD. "It is a mighty nation. It is an ancient nation, a nation whose language you do not know, neither understand what they say.
16 Mwet pisr lalos elos mwet mweun kulana su uniya ke wangin pakomuta.
Their quiver is an open tomb, they are all mighty men.
17 Elos fah kangla fokin ima lowos, oayapa mwe mongo nowos. Elos fah uniya wen ac acn nutuwos. Elos ac lusluseya un sheep ac un cow nutuwos, ac sukela ima in grape ac sak fig sunowos. Mwet mweun lalos ac fah kunausla siti potyak ku lowos, su yohk lulalfongi lowos kac.
They shall eat up your harvest, and your bread, which your sons and your daughters should eat. They shall eat up your flocks and your herds. They shall eat up your vines and your fig trees. They shall beat down your fortified cities, in which you trust, with the sword.
18 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Ne ouinge, in len ingo nga fah tia sukela nufon mwet luk uh.
"But even in those days," says the LORD, "I will not make a full end with you.
19 Ke elos ac siyuk sripen nga oru ma inge nukewa, na Jeremiah, fahk nu selos lah ke sripen elos forla likiyu ac orekma nu sin god saya uh in facl selos sifacna, ouinge elos fah kulansupu mwet saya in sie facl ma tia ma selos.”
It will happen, when you say, 'Why has the LORD our God done all these things to us?' Then you shall say to them, 'Thus says the LORD, Just like you have forsaken me, and served foreign gods in your land, so you shall serve strangers in a land that is not yours.'
20 LEUM GOD El fahk, “Fahkang nu sin fwilin tulik natul Jacob, ac fahkeng nu sin mwet Judah:
"Declare this in the house of Jacob, and publish it in Judah, saying,
21 Porongeyu, kowos mwet lalfon ac mwet sulalkung, su oasr muta tuh tiana liye; su oasr srac tuh tiana lohng.
'Hear now this, foolish people, and without understanding; who have eyes, and do not see; who have ears, and do not hear:
22 Nga LEUM GOD. Efu kowos ku tia sangeng sik? Efu kowos ku tia rarrar ye mutuk? Nga oakiya puk uh mu pa inge masrol lun meoa uh, sie masrol oakwuk nwe tok ma meoa uh tia ku in alukela. Noa uh finne ngirngir ac toki weacn uh, a tia ku in som alukela.
Do you not fear me?' says the LORD 'Won't you tremble at my presence, who have placed the sand for the bound of the sea, by a perpetual decree, that it can't pass it? And though its waves toss themselves, yet they can't prevail; though they roar, yet they can't pass over it.'
23 A kowos mwet uh, kowos likkeke ac lungse alein. Kowos kuhfla nu saya ac som likiyu.
"But this people has a revolting and a rebellious heart; they have revolted and gone.
24 Wanginna nunak in sunakinyu, nga finne supu af in taknelik ac af in kosrani, ac sot nu suwos pacl in kosrani ke kais sie yac.
Neither do they say in their heart, 'Let us now fear the LORD our God, who gives rain, both the former and the latter, in its season; who preserves to us the appointed weeks of the harvest.'
25 A ma koluk lowos kosrala ma wo inge liki kowos.
"Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withheld good from you.
26 “Oasr mwet koluk muta inmasrlon mwet luk uh. Elos wikla soano oana mwet ma likiya mwe sruhf in sruokya won, tusruktu elos filiya sruhf lalos in sruok mwet.
For among my people are found wicked men. They watch, as fowlers lie in wait. They set a trap. They catch men.
27 Oana ke sie mwet sruh won el nwakla kalkal lal uh ke won, ouinge elos nwakla lohm selos ke ma elos eisla lun mwet uh. Pa oru elos kulana ac kasrup;
As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit. Therefore they have become great, and grew rich.
28 pa oru elos fact ac kihp. Wangin saflaiyen orekma koluk lalos. Elos tia sang suwohs nu sin tulik mukaimtal ku oru nununku suwohs nu sin mwet enenu.
They have grown fat. They shine; yes, they excel in deeds of wickedness. They do not plead the cause, the cause of the fatherless, that they may prosper; and they do not judge the right of the needy.
29 Tusruktu nga, LEUM GOD, fah kaelos ke ma elos oru inge. Nga fah orek foloksak nu sin mutunfacl se inge.
"Shall I not punish for these things?" says the LORD. "Shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?
30 Sie ma koluklana ac mwe lut sikyak tari fin facl se inge:
"An astonishing and horrible thing has happened in the land.
31 mwet palu tia fahk ma pwaye a kikiap mukena; ac mwet tol uh kol mwet uh oana ma mwet palu sapkin, ac mwet luk uh tiana lain. Na mea elos ac oru pacl se ke ma nukewa sun saflaiya uh?”
The prophets prophesy falsely, and the cohanim rule by their own authority; and my people love to have it so. What will you do in the end of it?
